ABOUT

I am an interaction designer who enjoys exploring the affective qualities of technology. My interest lies in designing playful, sensory interactions that can broaden our perspectives of the world. 

I hold an M.Sc. degree from the Affective Systems and Cognition Lab at Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST), South Korea, and have experience as a design researcher of the eXperience Fabrication Lab at Kookmin University.
